Digital FX 2.0 Transparent Released - Page 3

the question that needs to be asked is how do you use regserv32. I doubt many people know how (aka non power/super users!). so an explanation would be in order.

JohnWPB · 01-05-2007, 07:53 PM

ok to register a file: (Was just a skin, now computer lessons, I charge double for this

)

Get to a command prompt (Start, choose run and type cmd and click ok/press enter)

Browse to the directory that road runner is in using this command:

Code:

cd c:\program files\road runner

Once in the directory type:

Code:

regsvr32 mp3art.dll

You will get a confirmation that the dll has been registered with windows, and you are good to go.

BTW, Sangre, your Signature is SOOOoo Old school

I tried to register mp3art.dll, everything was ok, but the embedded art still not working, do i need also to add that command in the main menu? or you already did that? I checked the embedded art with centrafuse, and ot's working fine, for some reason it's not working under road runner.

JohnWPB · 01-05-2007, 09:49 PM

let me look into it here and see whats going on....

Here are the instructions from Giono:

Quote:

1- Copy MP3ART.DLL to install location (of your choice -- DO NOT MOVE IT AFTER STEP 2!)

Done

Quote:

2- Regsvr32 MP3ART.DLL

You did that

Quote:

3-Add: X,Mp3Art to menu.skin of desired skin

It's in the skin, as I just checked it

I will do some further testing by removing images from some of my folders ect.

Thanks JohnWPB & Kbreeden. The playlist works great now! I also was able to set up your super search skin & it is incredible!

Skin is GREAT! Quick question John or anyone else who may know. I followed the instructions to add the spectrum analyzer as my visualization. It worked great at first, now when I hit visualize the analyzer will never show up in the box. It seems to end up where I last left it with winamp open without RR. I added the !Winamp Gen!AVS to the AVS window title, but I can think of anything else.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

This is one of the issues I also have with the vis and discussed it with JohnWPB when first released. Embedding doesn't work as normal with this vis. You can only move the vis around when running Winamp stand alone, so you basically have to guess where it need to be and then use trial and error to get it in the exact spot needed for the skin. This vis is the only one I've used that doesn't embed within the confines of the embedding area.

Another issue with this vis is if you use more than one skin, its location is ofset from the embedded area but the sizing is right - strange.

Again, if this is the only skin you're running you need to go back and forth from RR to Winamp adjusting the location of the vis till it matches with the album art, then you never have to touch it again.

Great Work!!!

Bugs i have found so far:
- autoinstall script doesnt seem to work right, got the same error as reported earlier in this thread
- GPS i am running MS S&T 2007, blue window covers the front, and once S&T comes up, RR menu goes in the back.
- Logo is showing up to be all white, can't change the logo, seem like the filter for extention might not be set right.
- Settings skin, doesnt seem to do much as to what its suppose to.
- RR Config doesnt launch
- Control Panel doesnt launch
- Wireless Network, Bluetooth, and Display Settings dont seem to do anything.

Thats all i found so far, will test more tomorrow.
looks nice, good work, wish i could do all that with flash(i think thats what u have used)

RR config, control panel launches, works fine for me , i just still can't figure embedded art thing

JohnWPB · 01-06-2007, 05:07 AM

Ok, the spectrum analyzer embedding has definitely been an issue, that I didn't have myself, until recently. After I installed the Jump to track plugin, and updated the JTT winamp plugin, it started happening. I was going nuts here trying to figure it out! I finally uninstalled Winamp, and reinstalled it and all went back to normal. It SEEMS to be connected to the JTT feature somehow.

Can anyone else confirm if this seems related to when yours stopped working, of if you had installed this prior to trying to skin?

Shew!

Ok.... lets tackle this list:

- autoinstall script: As I mentioned, can you give me any more information on the error? Exactly what it says ect?

- MS S&T 2007: I do not have S&T 2007, just 2005, so I am not sure whats happening there.... will see if I can find out whats going on.

- Logo is showing up to be all white: Check the Help file under "Clock Logo" is showing up as white

- Settings skin, doesnt seem to do much as to what its suppose to: As mentioned in quite a few posts here in the thread, you have to add .exe to the file types for music in the RR Config utility to see the list of available logo' sif that is what you are refering to.

- RR Config: It is launching and embedding here fine, as well as for other users, possibly something with your specific machine / setup

- Control Panel: Same as above

- Wireless Network, Bluetooth, and Display: Same as above

I don't use S&T, but everything else you mentioned works perfectly for me. You may want to try a fresh install and then for the logo follow the instructions in the help file as JohnWPB mentioned.

Thanks Rafster, its always appreciated!

Thanks for the confirmation kbreeden, I had about 5 people going over the skin with a fine tooth comb, you being one of them, and none have reported that particular problem. The final tester, Liquid Smoke, only found a couple minor issues, that have been fixed.

This DOES NOT mean the skin is 100% yet, as not all people have all hardware & software, the case with S&T 2007 a couple posts ago is a good example of that. SO keep the suggestions, bug reports and problem reports coming in!

BTW, I just spent a couple hours brushing up on my reading and writing to ini files in VBScript. The new installer will look to see if you have Road Runner installed in the default location (C:\Program Files\Road Runner\). If not the installer will tell you to edit the RRPath.ini, and re-run the installer.

JohnWPB · 01-06-2007, 10:32 AM

Ok new version is up in the first thread... some minor bug fixes ect.
